On OpenNTF: XPages Debug Toolbar

Posted by Niklas Heidloff on February 16, 2012

Mark Leusink has contributed a great
utility for XPages developers - XPages
Debug Toolbar. It allows XPages
developers to log messages that are displayed in a browser window. Additionally
it displays properties from the different scopes and allows inspecting
the page.

The project demonstrates community power
since it extends a project from Tommy Valand and Keith Strickland also
helped with logging from Java.

The toolbar/output can be displayed
on the current page or in a separate window. The following screenshot shows
a minimized toolbar and some test buttons that generate messages from SSJS
and Java.

The next screenshot shows a second window
that is opened at the same time which displays the messages when the buttons
are pressed.
